For the Assertion (A) and Reason (R) the correct alternative from the following
(A) : If the perimeter of a rectangle is 12 meters, then its maximum area is 9 $$m^2$$.
(R) : Geometric mean of two positive numbers is less than or equal to their Arithmetic mean
Geometric mean of numbers a and b is
$$=√ab.$$ and Arithmetic mean
$$=(a+b)/2$$.
we know that ,Geometric mean of two positive numbers is less than or equal to their Arithmetic mean.
So, Condition R is correct.
Condition A:
Let say ,length and breadth of the rectangle are l & b respectively.
So, $$2(l+b)=12.$$
Or,$$(l+b)=6.$$
And Area $$=lb$$.
multiplication of two numbers achieve when they are both equal in equation 1.
So,$$l=b=3.$$
Then only it can attain maximum value of
$$3×3=9$$m^2.
So, condition 'A' is true and correct explanation made by 'R'.
So,Option A is correct choice.
